Recent maiden winners HAT'S MAMBO and ARIZONA MAGIC have scope for improvement so warrant respect on handicap debut. The unexposed former is preferred but has an earlier engagement. LADY ELLIOT and ADA LOVELACE take on male opposition but should be competitive on current form. Hard-knocker LONGSWORD has a wide draw to contend with but races off an attractive mark. He has found form recently with this headgear fitted and should play another leading role. SPY STORY and ORIENTAL BOUQUET appeal most of the remainder.
